Gayle Baird – a writer, artist and healer based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

I am moved by the spirit of the lands, the beauty in stillness, the magic in gentle attention. I am led by big passions, quiet whispers, synchronicity, the delight of absurdity and small moments of mystical beauty. I aim to inspire others to embrace their uniqueness, follow their inner wisdom, love unashamedly and live creatively.

I hope that by confiding in you my stories of discovery and misadventure; and my perspectives of this wonderland we share, I can offer a place of curiosity, an expression of honesty; a word or image that moves, uplifts or inspires you and opens the heart to beauty.

I’m currently writer in residence at The Red Shed, a beautiful permaculture forest food garden in Coldstream, Scotland. I’m also working on my upcoming book, Cinnamon Journals, the story of my journey to mental wellness through plants, vines and shamanism.
